Second Covid-19 wave not to impact India's agri sector in any way: Niti Aayog

Niti Aayog Member (Agriculture) Ramesh Chand on Sunday said the second Covid-19 wave will not impact the Indian agriculture sector in any way as rural areas saw the spread of infections in May when agriculture activities remained at a bare minimum. Chand said India's policies have favoured rice, wheat and sugarcane, and there is a need to make MSP policy favourable to pulses.
